THE PRESENCE of large numbers of women in governing positions degrades politics, not because women are incapable or stupid but because women are womanly. Here is a perfect example. Czech female parliamentarians have posed for a racy calendar. The purpose of the calendar is to create a refreshing, anti-authoritarian image. Wouldn’t you rather have your life controlled by beautiful women, than men in suits? The Telegraph reports:
“We want to draw attention to the fact that we have women in politics,” said MP Lenka Andrysova, who appears in one shot in a thigh-high dress kneeling on a shelf.
They want to draw attention to more than that. John of Powerline reacts with flippant indifference: “Czechs seem to be having a little more fun in their political lives than we are.” Paul disagrees:
My conclusion is that this calendar confirms the decline of Western Civilization, assuming the Czech Republic is part of that Civilization.

From the neck up, the woman in the photograph looks like a man. I don’t understand why so many women these days are wearing thick plastic glasses that look like they belong on a man. It is still possible to find classic wire frames that are far more flattering to a woman’s face.

I don’t know how Krystina can ever expect to be taken seriously by her constituents again.
